Glass Painting Ideas

Colors have always been my weakness. I think this world would not look half as beautiful, if it wasn't for colors. I mean, just imagine a world that was just black and white (I know they are colors too, but you know what I mean). So, I incorporate as much color as I can in almost everything. Especially when it comes to decorating my home. I think any home looks absolutely cheerful and welcoming if it has vibrant colors to decorate. If not fully, at least a dash of color to take away the drab and dull feeling from the house. And the same goes for the objects in the house. I've discovered a great way to include my love for colors in my home. I just try out new and interesting glass painting ideas! Want to know more about it? Just read ahead.

Wine Glass Painting Ideas
You'd never thought of this before? Well, now you can try it. Get out the old wine glasses that you don't use anymore. Doesn't matter if they are mismatched. The more mismatched, the better, I'd say! Alright, now that you have them, think of a pattern that you would like to use on them. Hand painted wine glasses look simply gorgeous. Either use the same design, or think of different designs for each glass. Since the circumference is not really big, go in for small designs. Choose from any of the following,

• A Pattern of Circles
• Ladybird Bugs
• A Pattern using Curves
• Tiny Flowers
• Stars
• Bows and/or Hearts
• Tiny Butterflies
• Small Birds
• Mushrooms
• Strawberries
• Faces Showing Different Emotions
• Peacocks
• Plums and Peaches
• Candy and Chocolate
• Apples (red and green)
• Lemons and Chillies
• A Bonfire (paint only the bottom of the glass, to give it the flaming effect)
• Balloons
• A Bunch of Grapes
• An Alphabet (or all alphabets)
• Gift Boxes
• Small UFOs
• Ribbons
• Jellyfish
• Polka Dots
• Olives
• Kisses
• Sun Glasses
• Dice
• Chess Pawns

Paint these on the glasses. Just try not to use a color that will clash with that of the wine. Your wine glasses will have a lovely makeover. Instead of wine glasses, you can try a similar experiment on martini glasses too!

Window Glass Painting Ideas
Ah! What a perfect idea to engage your kids in. Ask them if they're open to having the windows of their rooms painted. If yes, then great! And if no, then, well try another room that you like instead. Okay, so before you start, sit the kids down and ask them for some ideas that they have. If not, then choose from the following ideas.

• Their Favorite Animal
• An Angel
• Doves
• Cupid
• Giant and Small Butterflies
• Favorite Superhero
• Favorite Flowers
• A Bumblebee
• An Octopus
• A Symmetrical Design
• Grapevines
• An Oriental Lamp
• Candles
• The Sun
• Dolphins
• Bats
• A Clown
• Fish in a Pond
• A Snowman
• Roosters
• Seahorses
• Snails
• A Portrait
• Umbrellas
• A Scenery
• A Fairy
• Cactus Plants
• The Solar System
• A Jungle
• A Phoenix

Try any of these, or some classic mosaic patterns on your windows. They'll look fabulous, especially, with the sun's rays filtering through the designs. Use the appropriate colors to enhance the beauty of this ancient art that has been brought down through the ages.

Those were some glass painting ideas that I could think of. Hope they helped. Make sure you follow the right glass painting tips, while doing it. Apart from windows and wine glasses, you can also try these ideas on any glass objects that you want; like vases, jars, bottles, lanterns, trays, etc. So go ahead and give your home a classy glassy look!
